Vow Class & Vow Ceremony
Saturday, June 17th, 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Guru-Disciple, Refuge & Bodhichitta Vows
Class taught by Lhoppön Rinpoche
Vow ceremony will be given by Lhoppön Rinpoche
at 3:00 pm, following class
In this class, we will learn the true meaning of taking vows.
What does it mean to enter into a student-teacher relationship? How does Refuge become the door for entering the Buddhist path? How do we inspire Bodhichitta mind?
For those who are ready to work with Rinpoche as a teacher, the Guru-Disciple vow marks the beginning of that relationship. Refuge marks the entry into the Buddhist path, where we learn to “do no harm.” Bodhichitta vows take us on the next step of the process of caring for others, taking away their suffering, and holding all sentient beings in our compassionate awareness.
